Springtime upwelling conditions influence microbial communities and dissolved thiamin compounds in the California Current Ecosystem

Limnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding dissolved concentrations of the essential coenzyme thiamin (vitamin B1) can provide insights into the biological controls on highly productive upwelling systems such as the California Current Ecosystem. To connect thiamin availability with microbial communities in the California Current Ecosystem, we measured concentrations of ...

Eco‐Friendly Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles via Sternbergia candida: Enhancing Antioxidant Defense and Mitigating Salt Stress in Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Plants

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Sternbergia candida serves as a flexible reducing agent for the synthesis of SeNPs utilizing an economical and ecologically safe extract. Applications of selenium have demonstrated that plants cultivated in salinity preserve proper osmotic conditions and minimize cellular damage, as evidenced by photosynthetic pigments, proline, and MDA data.

Genomics and morphometry of herbarium specimens elucidate the origin of the Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica A.Chev.) and highlight its agronomic potential

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
As climate change accelerates, breeding resilient crops is urgent. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a crucial 18 billion USD fruit crop, underpins North African and West Asian oasis agroecosystems. This study investigates the genetics and morphology of its closest wild relative, the endemic and endangered Cape Verde date palm (Phoenix atlantica ...

Phylogenomic insights into the origin of the Norton grape

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Challenges in viticulture such as disease resistance have renewed interest in underutilized cultivars. The Norton grape, one of the earliest popular North American grape cultivars, holds the potential to produce exceptional wine while being resistant to pests and disease. Yet, the ancestry of the Norton grape is controversial.

The Pseudoenzyme β‐Amylase9 From Arabidopsis Activates α‐Amylase3: A Possible Mechanism to Promote Stress‐Induced Starch Degradation

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Starch accumulation in plants provides carbon for nighttime use, for regrowth after periods of dormancy, and for times of stress. Both ɑ‐ and β‐amylases (AMYs and BAMs, respectively) catalyze starch hydrolysis, but their functional roles are unclear.

Intraspecific variation in plant–soil feedback depends on plant dominance while interspecific variation is unrelated to plant community structure

Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Plant dominance had stronger effects on microbiome assembly and plant–soil feedback (PSF) than plant diversity. Although plant diversity did not reduce negative PSF, independent variation in PSF within and among species suggests additive benefits of genetic and species diversity for dilution of plant responses to pathogens. Understanding this variation,

Shifting microbial communities in acidified seawaters: insights from polychaetes living in the CO2 vent of Ischia, Italy

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The microbiome of polychaetes Syllis prolifera and Platynereis massiliensis complex changes in naturally acidified CO2 vents. A slight degree of acidification is associated with relevant changes in the microbial community, stressing the importance of investigations about the possible effects of ocean acidification on key biological and ecological ...

Is a spice missing from the recipe? The intra‐cellular localization of vanillin biosynthesis needs further investigations

Plant Biology, Volume 25, Issue 1, Page 3-7, January 2023., 2023
Is there a spice missing in the recipe? The intra‐cellular localization of vanillin biosynthesis needs more investigations. Abstract Vanillin is the most popular flavor compound in the world. Substantial effort were made in the last decades to completely elucidate the metabolic pathway that leads to vanillin in plants, with some controversy reported ...

Diatom triacylglycerol metabolism: from carbon fixation to lipid droplet degradation

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Diatoms are a prominent microalgae family that has attracted interest for its production of molecules of biotechnological interest. Their fatty acid profile is rich in health‐beneficial omega‐3 eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Furthermore, under nutrient‐deprived conditions, many diatom species, notably Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Thalassiosira ...
